Comment Node

The comment node is a secondary type of node that can be added to a flowchart.

Unlike regular nodes, which represent a state and can have information, these are meant to be used exclusively as notes to describe what is going on in a certain part of a flowchart and have no impact at runtime.

Creating comment nodes

To create a comment node in a flowchart, open a Flowchart View for it from the Project Bar and then right-click in any empty space of the Flowchart View and select the Add comment node option from the context menu. Doing that will create a node at the position of the pointer.

For more information on further editing of nodes, see the Flowchart View section of the manual.

Main comment

The main body of the node is a text box that can be clicked on to write in it.
